Quentin and I spend a lot of time together because we enjoy being around each other. Well, we mostly spend that time together inside. He doesn't mind staying inside all the time because that is just how he is. Me on the other hand, I like to get out and enjoy the fresh air. I don't like being cooped up in our apartment.
I suggested that we should start doing stuff outside of our place. He didn't mind just as long as he was with me. Then I asked if he would like to start running with me. Now remember, I am more active and athletic than he is. He is a computer skilled, no ball experience kinda guy. He kinda hesitated but agreed to run with me.
We made a plan to run every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. But we run at night because, well for a couple of reasons. 1. It is cooler. 2.He works all day. AND....3.He doesn't want people to see him run so we run at night so no one can see him. He runs my pace because it is "easy" and he doesn't run out of breathe. But I don't think he is getting a work out. He doesn't mind too much though. haha
I told him that no one really looks at you when you run but he didn't care. So we agreed to run at night...like at 9 p.m. close to bed time.
We have been running for a couple weeks now and enjoying being together.
Also during those couple of weeks he has wanted me to play online games with him. League of Legends is the game that he has wanted me to play. He says that he doesn't like to play with people he doesn't know. I told him that is why you play with Lonnie(his friend and his ex roommate). Quentin gave me a serious look and said, but I want to play with you.
I gave him reasons why I wouldn't play. 1. I don't want to. 2. It is a waste of time. 3. We are adults and shouldn't play online games. 4. I wouldn't play because he wanted me to and I am stubborn like that :)
He didn't like my reasons and wouldn't bring the conversation up until the next day. And we would have the same discussion and I kept insisting that I would NOT play League of Legends.
Well two days ago, August 27th, we were sitting on the couch talking and he asked if I wanted to play a game with him and I gave him a stern look and told him that he already knows the answer. What he said next made me feel guilty and sad and a little angry at myself. He said, "Tailour, I love spending time with you. I go running with you even though I hate to run just so we can be together. Playing games gives us another moments to be together. Will you please play with me?" I felt so hurt that I was denying our time together. I didn't think about him not liking to run but he put up with it just so he could be with me. So I could sacrifice half an hour to an hour to play games with him to make him feel important and spend time with him and show him that I love him.
After we had that conversation, we got up and set up an account for me. He was so happy and a little jumpy in his seat. He looked like a little boy who just got permission from his mother to get dirty or something. It was a sight to see. I liked seeing him happy. We played two games that night and I have to admit that I am little obsessed with it. Don't tell anyone though! haha
So an hour or so before we get ready for bed we play a game or two. He tells me that I am better than he was when he first started. I went through the tutorial games and Quentin is a good teacher. The next time he asks for my attention, I will not deny that time we could spend together.
I am glad we like spending every minute of the day with each other and don't get bored of each other. I could spend the rest of forever with him in silence and wouldn't mind it at all because we would be together. He is the best husband I could ask for. Thank you Heavenly Father for sending Quentin into my life and that we are the BESTEST OF FRIENDS! :)
Hahaha, we run at 6am, for the same reasons. LOL Oh the wonders of marital give and take. haha, cute blog. Love it
ReplyDeletenooooooo! don't go to the dark side!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry dad, I have gone to the dark side. They gave me cookies. Also I will tell you that I don't play all the time! Just when I really want to spend time with him and he is wanting my attention.
